Now im sure everyone will agree that that is an awesome list of shows. Apart from the obvious shit like falling skies, terra nova etc...Anyway my point is this...........LOST was the greatest and had the best soundtrack of all time, i dare someone to give me a better TV show soundtrack ???

ps the only reason why vic and the striketeam aint on that list is because i started to watch the shield before lost....go vandrell!!!

Season 5 was the worst imo. Felt like we were forcing ourselves through it and the dial definitely swung to the 'they are making this shit up as they go' meter and stayed there for most of it. Wasn't bad enough to ruin the whole show though just a bit mental. Season 6 was better imo.

I still remember when Lost was pretty new one of the guys that wrote it was in an interview and he said how the whole arc had already been planned from the start. After watching it as a whole I found it hard to believe. The entire last series to me just seemed like they'd winged it.

I didn't mind the ending, I rather liked it. It's just season 6 as a whole disappointed me. I just can't help but think I could have written a far better season with all the flesh ripped from my hand and a pen covered in salt.

All the explanations, when there actually was some, were just shit. The Richard episode should have covered more of his time on the island. The origin of Jacob and the MIB should have started during the ancient civilizations on the island (you know, with the statue and the temple and all that kind of shit) and explain their 'powers'. And did we ever really get a reason why 'the others' were there in the first place?

Their explanations were so shit I honestly don't know how they came up with them in the first place.

I love how people seem to imagine that writing a TV show is sooooo easy. They did a hell of a job to tie it together as well as they did. People complain about them not explaining the "powers" and wanting to know the origin of every single thing. It would have pissed off just as many people if they had had these elements. Jacob was bloody magic. What explain nation could have made you go, oh alright that's that sorted. Anything would have just lead to another question.

It's just the general lack of planning I didn't like. When I was first watching it and all this crazy and unexplained shit was going on I really thought the writers must of been such clever bastards for thinking it up and how far ahead they must be thinking. Problem was when I looked back on it once the show finished it just seemed like they were blagging it all along. Shit that didn't make sense, other shit they'd forgotten about and a last series that they'd just blatantly pulled out of there arse. They just come across like phony's to me. PHONY'S!!!!

Its X-Files syndrome, albeit X-Files forgot about the boring storylines and concentrated on the good ones, rather than the other way around.

Fwiw, even though I didnt like the finale, it was appropriate for the direction the eventually took the series in (a direction i didnt really like). Same with BSG, although I did like the ending to that.
